Is there any way to get a Blitz Window Gadget handle to another window if you have the HWND? Either that, or is there a way to create a canvas on another window if you have the HWND? |

Do you mean another window OUTSIDE B+?? cb |

That's exactly what I mean. |

You know what? Does anyone know the Windows API commands to get the X and Y position of a window and its width and height as well? |

Does anyone know the Windows API commands to get the X and Y position of a window and its width and height as well? No API calls needed. Since everything in BlitPlus is a gadget (including windows) use:; window x/y/w/h win=CreateWindow("Move/Resize me",280,30,250,190,Desktop(),11) Repeat wx=GadgetX(win) : wy=GadgetY(win) ww=GadgetWidth(win) : wh=GadgetHeight(win) SetStatusText win,"x="+wx+" y="+wy+" width="+ww+" height="+wh Until WaitEvent()=$803 End |

No, I mean the x, y, width, and height of a windows window, not necessarily a window created with BlitzPlus, but a window created by any program. I have the windows hwnd. |

BOOL GetWindowRect( HWND hWnd, // handle to window LPRECT lpRect // address of structure for window coordinates ); but you need to know the hwnd... and youll need to write a dll to do that :D... i have a dll which can do that but i wont have time to give it to you until, a week friday |
